You did it because you can, of course. I believe an artist should always strive for the best, but the main point is that ends must meet, if your band's earnings justify the investment it's a no brainer. That said, in my country that money is half the price of a modest house. We all know we buy music stuff mainly because music is everything in our lives and it matters a lot to keep the progress, more even than things making any sense financially.
@paulbradshawguitar6 ай бұрын
love seeing this sort of stuff, we run something similar however for drums / mics/routing goes straight to FOH and we get a feed sent back to our rack which we can set to taste, admittedly less control, but less cables and with shared backline/drums is potentially quicker /easier by doing this we can get by with an xr18, less channels, and i think a 8u or 10u rack, would love to upgrade to a g4 iem setup at some point, it's a fair bit of coin however

i get IER, i really do - however, not having amps on stage never sounds good. maybe, on an arena tour, with big PAs, but small bands, in small clubs, with even just mid tier PAs always sound weak and thin. especially harder bands doing theirselfs no favor by playing without amps.

Amazing video ! Thank you very much for taking the time to explain (and show the backside!). As both sound engineer and musician, this is really great info, as I'am currently in the process of building such rack myself. And I can confirm that as a FOH, what a pleasure to work with musician that are prepared like this ! It's the first time I see a splitted rack such as this one, and the idea is actually quite interesting ! I might take time to think about my rig and see if it would fit my workflow. Just wanted to address something about redundancy. I absolutely understand the idea of having redundancy on midi, computers fail often and its safer to have a backup. But in the end you say "Although there are a lot of things that could go wrong, everything is compartmentalized.". On the audio side of things, absolutely. Less looms : less risk of messing with the inputs, etc. But you only run the whole rack through one power supply, and we know that the second thing that fails after computers are power supply (mostly even before the rack). Why not having a surge protector with dual power supply ? This way you power your rig through two 16A lines, and you shoud be safe if power goes south. On more affordable rigs, I absolutely understand most people wont spend the extra money, but here, why (I mean, if you spent 20000$, maybe the extra 300$ are not so much of an issue) ? Is it the weight it would add to the rack? Or maybe you're touring big enough venues where you can trust the power supply ? Anyway, thanks again, a lot of good things to take !
@AndrewBanker12 ай бұрын
Fantastic video, and a fantastic set up. I couldn’t agree more about spending the money now. One point though. it does make a difference to the sound front of house. I reducing the bleed from wedges on stage with multiple microphones, it improves the fidelity of the mix substantially.

How beneficial do you think an IEM rig would be if you're playing small shows that don't usually have a FOH person or where the only thing coming from the PA is vocals? I've always wanted to run an IEM rig but most of the venues metal bands play around here are like DIY type venues that usually borrow a PA system from one of the bands playing so there really isn't a monitor mix at all
@NathanNagel5 ай бұрын
If you have a IEM rig, there’s a chance your mixer is going to be the one that runs the whole gig because it’s better than what is at the venue. It can be beneficial so you can actually hear yourself if that an issue for you now. It can still be used with a vocal only PA, you would just have to mic everything for your IEM rig and then only split the vocal to FOH.

@@KeyanHoushmandLivesure, happy to share. It’s based on an RME Babyface Pro audio interface and its built-in digital mixer. It’s tiny, almost fits in a pocket. Hooked up to it via ADAT a Behringer ADA8200 8in/8out port expander, it gives me a total of 10XLR in and 10 XLR out. A laptop sits on top of the rack; hooked to the babyface via USB. The laptop is used to run tracks, click/cues, AND as the keyboard module, so it sends 6 channels down the USB to the RME internal mixer. Sometimes it even runs instrumental tracks when a player is missing. The RME has a nice visual mixer on that laptop, we set up individual mixes for each IEM and output to FOH for keyboards.

@@KeyanHoushmandLiveI’ve realized over time, that all the patch panels, short XLR cables, blanking plates, splitters are 70% of the bulk of the rack and I don’t need them. And like you said in the video - when something goes wrong and needs to be inspected or god forbid re-patched, you gotta dive down the back of the rack on dark stage and usually there’s no time to do it slowly, so it’s a lot of stress. So I thew away all of that.

@@KeyanHoushmandLivemy secret trick is - I don’t have splitters. Why? Our wireless mic receivers have dual outputs, the guitar processors also do, the keyboard/tracks also. So most sound sources have built in splitters, why carry another one. So the only splitter I need is for drum mics. could have one, just 4-8 channels, or simply not. We usually ask the sound guy to give us a stereo drum mix.
